  • New Car Deep Clean, Prep & Ceramic Coating Package

    Starting at $1195 


    New cars typically pick up all kinds of junk on their ride from the factory to the dealership. Often times your new car has travelled by boat, rail and open 18 wheeler...picking up any number of contaminants and embedded dirt along the way. While the dealership “preps” your new car, they cannot compete with the level of cleaning, decontaminating, and polishing we do. 


    These days ANY new vehicle is a big investment, and that investment needs protecting. Our New Car Clean & Protect Package will not only have your car looking its best, but adds the important addition of safeguarding your new car against permanent damage to your paint, trim and glass from dirt, water spots and impurities.


    But perhaps the nicest benefit you will notice when you have your car ceramic coated is that it will not only stay cleaner longer, but that it will be much easier to clean moving forward.  Because a ceramic coated car is so slick (and glossy:), dirt, water spots and other contaminants have difficulty sticking to the paint and dulling the surface.


    Here is what is included in the package.


    EXTERIOR DEEP CLEAN:

    • A pre-foam of the entire car with high PH soap to release bonded dirt and contaminants
    • Deep clean of the wheel faces & barrels, the tires & the fender liners
    • Engine bay detail and ceramic protection
    • Hand wash car with Gentle Snow Foam
    • Clean & protect door & trunk jambs
    • Treat & clean any areas that have tar, bird bombs or bugs
    • Decontaminate paint, glass and trim with clay towel
    • Apply water spot/mineral remover to paint, glass, wheels and trim
    • Touch-less drying of entire vehicle
    • Clean exterior glass & mirrors
    • Condition exterior plastic trim
    • Dress tires with long-term sealant

    EXTERIOR PAINT ENHANCEMENT AND PREP

    • Improve the gloss & shine of the paint & trim by polishing exterior with a dual-action polisher and correcting/ compounding solutions.
    • This will remove the vast majority of any light scratches, swirls and hazing present.
    • Apply an adhesion promoter polish (by machine) specifically designed to strengthen the bond between your car and the ceramic coating
    • Apply a 5-year ceramic coating by hand to all the paint, glass, trim & wheels.

    INTERIOR:

    • Remove all loose items from door pockets, floors & trunk
    • Use compressed air to blow all the dust and debris from the cervices, between & under seats, the cup holders & consoles – including the trunk
    • Vacuum the trunk, carpets, seats & headliner
    • Deep clean & shampoo floor mats
    • Apply UV protection to all the interior surfaces
    • Clean interior glass and mirrors

    Package includes a 5-year ceramic coating. For a 10+ year coating please add $300


    Pricing based on vehicles that are less than 3 months old. Older vehicles qualify for the Gold Standard detail package.

  • Decontamination Wash For Ceramic Coated Cars

    Starting at $125, for cars coated by us, or $165 for cars coated elsewhere (1-2 hours)


    Ceramic coated cars need their coatings “refreshed” from time to time to ensure the coatings are providing not only the intended level of protection, but that your vehicle returns to that “just coated” look. 


    For those vehicles stored indoors, we recommend they are treated every 6 months to a year. For those stored outside in the elements, we recommend every 3-6 months.


    • A pre-foam of the entire car with high PH soap to release bonded dirt and contaminants
